Posted on: Are reserved seats REALLY reserved? 坐立不安──高铁霸坐

This is a very nice audio, and they gave much info in it. Thanks guys for your hardworking.

Posted on: Talking about Illness

In Chinese, people like to omit the subjects once it is clear to the listeners. But in this dialogue, all the subjects are saved. That is why the dialogue sounds a bit unnatural.

Posted on: Which country are you from?

In the dialogue, “你是哪个国家的/你是什么国家的” can be changed into “你是哪国人”. The latter is more short and common.

And also, if you say “我生在…”, it would sound better if you collocate it with “我生在…但是长在…”， because it sounds more rhythmic.

Posted on: Lying in Chinese

In the dialogue, the male answered “那不是我，你搞错了”. Here, you can say, “那不是我，你认错人了”.

I hope the topic chosen can be more basic and practical for newbies. Thanks

Posted on: City Comparison

thanks for your audio. But can you make some lessons about daily life? That would help our life in China a lot, Thanks.

Posted on: Chinese Celebrity: Bruce Lee

This is a nice video, but the choice of topic and knowledge points is not practical enough for newbies.Thanks for the video. 

Posted on: Taxi Conversations: Suggesting a Route

Thanks for the audio.

Posted on: Animal Proverbs: Don't Force That Bull To Drink

In 0:49, the hosts explained that bulls sometimes are taken as “God” and many people don’t eat bull meat. As far as I am concerned, I have never encountered someone who takes bull as “god” and refuse to eat bull meat. But people in India, they do such things.

Posted on: Summer Poem 夏日荷花—小池

This audio is a new form to teach Chinese to advanced students. This is a nice try and also a nice video. They have made a clear explanation for the poem. But I would also like to give you some suggestions. Why did you choose poem? Because I think even for native Chinese speakers, they may not understand the poem totally. It would be a bit difficult for learners, but anyway, it’s a nice try. I would suggest you thinking about making lessons to introduce Chinese history, famous and influential persons, mythology, etc. These topics are less specific than poems, and are influential to current Chinese thoughts and society as well.
